Movember 2014

In the past, I've told my story about why this month is close to my heart. Due to early detection, my dad has been cancer free at every check-up since his surgery! There is a lot of information out there to take in and I've started a board on Pinterest (fair warning--some pins may be slightly Not Suitable For Work due to the focus on men's bodies and health) with more info, links, and support for the movement to focus on and discuss men's health.

I'm planning to do a couple of manis this month in honor of prostate and testicular cancer awareness. This one is the first, and I'm kind of adoring it!

Look at all that sparkly, holo goodness! This is my happy place :)
Light blue is the color of prostate cancer awareness. I recently bought my first Lucky 13 Lacquer polish. I saw a message on Facebook that Kyoti was trying to get to her family due to a loss and my heart went out to her. I've been there and was more than happy to do something, little as it was. The good news--the polish community is awesome and she made enough to get home! Also, this polish is amazing! Also also, she is wonderful to work with when you accidentally screw up your order (Thank you!)!
Cliffs of Heaven is a light blue, slightly teal-leaning holo--these photos aren't quite true to color because it's a bit dustier. I used 3 coats because they were VERY thin coats, which created some bald patches. The holo particles are gorgeous in the sun! I paired it with Fairy Cakes, possibly my favorite micro silver holo.
I dipped back into my awesome RLR Creations decals for the little mustaches. I love these water slide decals and am planning another order because through Saturday there is a promo--order through PayPal on Facebook and you can buy 5, get 1 free or get 10% entire order, whichever is the better deal. TOTALLY worth it at less that $3 per sheet of 20 decals! I dotted on eyes and sealed it all with a top coat.

That last pictures is way out of focus, but just look at all that holo goodness! I had to capture it somehow!
